I always enjoy Pure and Proper so was a no brainer to grab this batch of very nice looking face mints. My eighth came as one nug I know for some that’s lame and for some it’s awesome but I was pleased. Especially because it was a beautiful nug with an array of shades of greens from light lime to the dark hunter green. Barely visible are some orange-red pistils in no particular pattern. The structure and cure were perfect and easy to break apart.
The smell was doughy cake and sugary terps with spice and possibly some light hints of sour citrus. When smoking the gas and Og terps really came out and slight bit of a minty finish. The high was nice and heavy nothing shocking considering the strain but hit exactly as advertised with slow come on over the face but then a heavy numbing throughout the whole body. Definitely could couch lock you if not careful and smoke within your limits. Honestly I was ended up being disappointed I only grabbed an eighth of this. No tricks no fruity flavors the really good smoking good hitting bud.
Even though this has a cool name after all the information I could find I found out it’s just Surefire’s version of Biscotti. Looks wise this had the typical cookies genetics appearance small squatty very dense buds. Lime green with little bits of purple and small bit of rust colored pistils. The structure was easy to break apart and work with.
The smell was a sweet and nutty with some vanilla hints. When smoking I really picked up on the doughiness and gas terps and on exhale was sweet vanilla comes out. The high was pretty strong and I reserved it for my night smoke. Definitely a relaxing full body high that helped with soreness and anxiety. The taste on this wasn’t the most exciting but still nice. Smoked clean and definitely keeping my eye out for Surefire Selections.
This one I got to try a little at my buddy’s place and really enjoyed so when I saw on the menu I knew I needed my own to review. This flower was quite eye catching as it was basically so purple it was black with just little bits of green here and there. Rust orange pistils peeking out at different spots throughout. So much resin that it looks like someone just added salt or left it out in the snow.
The smell was very sweet like Zkittlez but also that creamy sweetness from the 41 and found it hard to separate just kept getting both. The gas was hard to identify because the sweetness was so strong but I could feel it burning my nose. When smoking it smoked really sweet creamy and gassy. When inhaling you could really feel it expanding your lungs and when I thought I was about to die I exhaled and to my surprise it smoked so clean and smooth it didn’t kill my throat on the way out and left me with a very manageable cough. The high was great and left me very relaxed. I’d say it’s a little to strong to keep going back to all day but if you wake and bake it you’ll start your morning off very pleasantly. Another heater from Surefire Selections and can’t wait for more.
After trying the Zkittlez by Surefire selections I was eager to try more lucky for me @ftt had a few flavors including this ACMB. So this bag came as a 3.5g nug plus a .3 popcorn nug for a generous serving. The flower was dense and colorful reminded me of a splatter painting the way the purples, greens and speckled throughout a thick layer of trichomes with little strips of pistils the lined up like boundary lines on a map in a dark orange rust color. The structure of this bud was perfect and very easy to break apart and work with.
When smelling you get this doughy creamy smell with pine and musky undertones that really reminded me of some cereal milk that you just finished eating medicated cereal out of. When smoking the first thing I noticed was those old school cookie terps all doughy and gassy then finished of with funky creamy taste with a hint of maybe some chem genetics. The high was awesome definitely smacked me in the face and had me feeling goofy and silly and was a really enjoyable fun high that I was able to stay awake for. Loving Surefire selections right now and this strain was no different.
Had never heard of this company or strain but it sounded tasty so l made sure to get some. This was all small buds but they were caked in so much resin that it gave all the greens and purples this silver sheen that really is appealing to the eye. A lot of the buds look like purple tightly wrapped tulips. The little buds made it a pain to destem and I’m sure I impatiently smoked some stems at certain points.
The smell was amazing on this one very sweet and mixture of chocolate and milk terps but not chocolate milk terps. 🤷♂️ Some pungent skunk and musty terps with berries too. When you smoke you are met first with a sweet fruity terps but quickly bitters up and becomes very un enjoyable smoke that gagged me most times. I’m not sure what went wrong here but was unpleasant smoke. The high was nice and relaxing and aloud me to chill and relax after work. In talking to friends I heard turtle pie co had some good smoke so I’ll probably try again but this at the least was definitely a bad batch.
This was actually my first scoop of Wca in some time so it was my first with the new packaging the homey @percyterps insisted that I pick it up because he knows my taste. The appearance was consistent with what everything I’ve been seeing. Cold cure in a almost white color looking really wet and really clean.
The smell is definitely citrus mostly oranges but some tangy lime and grapefruit smells too. The taste when dabbing is oranges and citrus in such a balanced perfect way without that harsh feeling on your throat some strong orange terps leave. This was seriously my favorite citrus dab since pink lemonade by Ladybug. The high was great too being energetic slightly spacey and uplifting in a very fun way. I definitely see this as good smoke for getting shit done around the house. This one made me buy more from Wca almost immediately. If you like orange/citrus I highly recommend this one.
Forty One from Panacea Farm via OC3 Dispensary on 10/29/2020 (Huge shoutout to awesome folks and Panacea and OC3 for making it happen). THC tested out to 26.35%. This was gifted to me but it goes for around 55$ plus tax at OC3, and if you buy a full ounce you get 25% off, so that basically makes up for the tax aspect if you go hard. I know some followers out there are sick and tired of how prevalent Gelato is in the current rec marketplace, but at this point with it being essentially a modern classic, I look at it as a benchmark strain that can be used as one facet of determining the ability of a grower. As I said in the first impressions video on this batch, Gelato is a bit like fried rice in the sense that every Chinese restaurant may have one one the menu, but the enjoyment of the dish can vary wildly from place to place and depends greatly on the quality ingredients and the skill of the chef. That said, this is a fine specimen in regards to the strain. The surface of these two chunky buds is a patch work of fern, forest, and jade greens that seamlessly transition to shades of indigo and midnight blue coupled with ample bursts of twine orange pistils, all of which is washed over in a considerable amount of spiky goldenrod triches.
The nose out of the jar is “classic” gelato, that rich grungy sickly sweet fruit scent that I always refer to as “that foreign fruit market smell”, and a bit of vague mint far in the distance. Busting open a bud, the fruity scent brightens up a bit and loses it’s grungy quality, while that mint amplifies and gets sharper in tone, and when taken in all together comes with some Sweet Tart or Mentos like vibes. Breaking it down by hand I get a sweet mint with a touch of fruit on the fingers, while the grinds themselves have a rich fruity sweetness that struck me as some sort of grenadine made with real pomegranate and cane sugar, a very pleasant natural sweetness as opposed to an artificial cloying one. The dry pull on the joint is a very light fruity sweet with a touch of that grunge and a vague freshness which was surprising given the strength of the terps off the grinds. The inhale is smooth, and on the bong I get a light sweet minty floral, whereas on the joint it’s a muted fruity sweetness with a touch of chalkiness. The exhale is a light sweet floral with mint and a hint of cream on the bong, whereas the joint is essentially the same, but the mint comes in slightly sharper as the cream drops off all together. Cross checking the flavors on my GhostVapes MV1, at 170c I get heavy pine with mint and a semi hoppy beer aftertaste, where at 185c I get heavy pine floral with a lingering mint pine aftertaste. The initial headchange comes on quick but takes a minute to ramp up and is fairly mild in nature. Mentally it’s very functional, I am able to focus as needed and am very present, not that I’d want to take a math test in the wake of smoking it, but if that were the scenario I think I’d do just as well as I would sober. Physically it puts some weight on my body, but again it’s not so overwhelming that it makes me want to take a seat, I feel like I could maintain a slow pace on a chill bike ride with ease. It’s a very mellow middle of the road kind of stone and I found myself often ripping back to back bowls in order to get to the level I wanted to be on. That said, it’s a beautiful and well grown example of Gelato #41, but taste and effects wise there wasn’t enough of an impact made on me where I felt like the experience bears repeating. However, if I happen across a fresh batch in a shop at around $50 out the door I’d be compelled to pick it up again and see if it fared any differently, as I did sit on this sample for a few months before being able to examine it thoroughly. Still a solid showing from Panacea on this one, great work!
This is a very popular strain and I definitely get why. In the looks department she’s quite pretty. With dark almost black purples and some darker hunter green leaves and an orange red for the pistils that looks like rust this flower has some colors that really pop to the eye. This flower felt like it was cured ok and the structure was very easy to work with.
The nose on gelonade is always heavy on the lemon tree and this one was no different with that gassy smell of overripe citrus and definitely a creamy sweetness that really was enjoyable. When smoking the citrus pops the most with a definite creamy finish and that pungent gas that is just there the whole time. On a negative note there was this bitterness after you taste the creaminess that was unpleasant and really out of place thankfully it wasn’t too strong. The high was a nice relaxing one that you feel creep down from your eyes all the way to your feet. I wasn’t a space cadet but also had issues staying focused on anything I was trying to accomplish. Overall I’m pretty sure connected isn’t top shelf weed anymore this strain being the one possible exception as the flavors really do pop and the high is really good but it’s quite a shame what they charge vs the quality you get. I’ll probably be done buying connected for a bit until I see some new flavors or hear their reputation is improving.
After trying the Blueberry Zkittlez I was pretty stoked and wanted to try more by Seven Leaves. I saw the Zlushee and it sounded delicious. On an interesting note the bud tender was telling me that this grow focuses more on terpenes and taste than anything else and so the high might not be great. The reason that stood out to me is because I find weed that’s loud and taste good typically gets me the highest and reading about “The Entourage Effect “ it makes sense to me. This flower was interesting looking because most of the nugs were pea green with heavy coating of trichomes and then one nug is purped out with hunter green and purple leaves both had an average amount of pistils but on thee purple bud they definitely popped more. On a side note this came with a boveda pack and those things steal terps so I’m bummed they’re doing this.
When smelling its straight sweet sugar and fruit terps. Some pungent pine and musk in there too was a really great smell. When smoking it smokes a lot like zkittlez but even sweeter and more like candy taste than I’m used too. The high was nice uplifting and slightly energetic but then you start to mellow and really relax and I just sat there in a really good mood. Overall the flavors I’ve tried have all been good strong and smoked clean and will definitely try more. With the boveda packs I’d pay close attention to packaging dates and only grab something within about 3 maybe 4 weeks at most.
When I saw this drop I got pretty excited and grabbed one for me and a buddy. The looks on this one are pretty nice. Definitely some purples and lime peel green going on and so many trichomes that it really changes the color of the flowers to almost a steel blue or grey. All the nugs were pretty small and made it a slightly obnoxious when breaking apart but overall the structure was workable.
The nose of this was doughy and sweet with a little bit of gas. Yeah a little bit of gas that surprised me too along with that wasn’t the common stinking pungent gas of chem d that I’m used to and was looking forward to. When smoking it really smoked like a biscotti with some sweet doughiness to it and some herbal tea and none of the chem d funk that is very prevalent in GMO. I have to say even though the taste wasn’t bad was quite good actually was still a disappointment because they didn’t pop like I expected them too. The high was nice and definitely a sit relax and don’t try to do anything to complicated type high it still wasn’t the slumper I was expecting or have read about. Overall this wasn’t as disappointing as most of the connected smoke over the last couple months it was also nothing special and very forgettable. Ask my buddy who had to keep reminding me that there was 2 strains from connected that weren’t completely trash. 🤦♂️😂
